Bill, I'd expect you'll need a Toshiba driver that is compatible with your drive. Contact Toshiba first; they'll have it, and maybe they have a BBS from which to download?? I don't think I have their number around; I do remember they have a major PC service center in the Los Angeles area somewhere, but that's a lotta real estate and area codes I'm afraid. (800) directory might have something. Also ask them for the driver name, not the filename, they use in case you don't get an install routine with the driver. I've heard anecdotally that you can use any name, e.g. "Bill" for the driver name as long as you keep the name identical in both the driver and mscdex switches, but that seems a bit counterintuitive. A lot of driver names look like SONY001, MV001, etc., usually in the form of mfgr's name and a number to differentiate it from other drives you may have connected. It's also possible that a vendor such as Trantor — I think they're on the new CD vendor forum (CDVEN) — may have a driver that'll work too, but that'll cost you something.
